~ the nallows The greatest hustle and
excitement prevailed in the Jail ofice, Dnt
Spies in his cell continued writing uh,
interruptedly, aud the Others remained
equally nonchaleut notwithstanding the
confusion that marked the BEGINNING OF
the end. Engel's daughter applied to me
sheriff this morning for permission to Visit
her father and say goodbye, but was re-
fused. She was not 0gitated in the least,
and took the refusal in a very matter OF
fact way.
The rafting Of chairs, tables and benches
continued for several minutes, but by
Hos there began to fall hush, and
conversation among the crowd fell almost
10 a whisper. The bare whitewashej walla
made powerful contrast with
THE BROWN GALLONS,
with its four noosed ropes dropping omi
nously near the floor. A CLEAN Of sun
shine shooting through the window at Thu
instant fell on corner of the deatl
machine and in slight degree relieved 1T
sombre hue.
Through the window one saw numbe
Of policemen armed with rifles lOokinl
down fron the roof OF the Dearborn stree
wing on the proceedings. The chief bailif
began az ll:lO calling out the names Of th'
persons summoned rs jurors, and bringing
them forward to the row OF little stool
directly in front OF the callOws. No othe
sounds were heard in the long high corri-
dor but the solemn mOnOtOnous voice o
the bailiif and the rustling OF the juror
rs they tiptopd forward through the crowd
The ewes OF the crowd began TO center OF
| the dark box upon the scattold and tht
| dangling ropes. This box seemed &
| possess a fearful fascination, and was alb
| sorbing the attention Of every person in thu
| corridor, when q frightful wall startled th'
crowd. Some who had heard the horribl,
grooming OF Lining yesterday, jus
| before his death, declared /
| sounded as il lie was still in agony. Blu
this was mere fancy. The black Jail en-
| was the cause OF the CommotiOn. and a
intervals continued to emit her ghost-likt
mewing. A command to the crowd front
ing the gallows that all must stop smokini
| was given at li.3j. A dozen or two WIFI
were using the weed quenchcd the lire
some rather reluctantly, and the ashe
slowly strewn on the pavement. Whethc
this command was given out Of humanit
to the condemned men, or Us q precautior
against appalling possibility OF any treach
erous bomb lighting in the corridor whc
the fatal moment came, no person seemet
to be aware, but more than one said
